Petroleum property prediction

This is done using the PhaseKinetics / GORfat approach.

Deliverables

We supply:

2-compounds GOR compositional kinetic model
4-compounds GOR compositional kinetic model
14-compounds PVT compositional kinetic model
in combination with in-source secondary cracking kinetic models
Geofiles for direct incorporation into PetroMod

Samples (5g)

You provide:

Low maturity source rocks, reservoir cores, oils, stains and seeps.
If no samples are available, for example in a frontier exploration area, analogue data can be leased.

Components

Combination of open and closed system pyrolysis

  • Definition of Petroleum Type Organofacies
  • Definition of Thermal Response
  • Integration of Compositions into Thermal Response
  • Tuning of Compositional Evolution to PVT Format
  • Definition of in-source secondary cracking kinetics
  • Combination of all in-source HC generating reactions into one simple model
